' AERO PISTOL.

Application filed September -1, 1928. Serial No. 303,377.

The present invention refers to toys and more particularly to toy guns of the pistol character.

The object of this invention is to provide a toy gun or pistol, in which by the action of any resilient device, as a spring, a missile is hurled into the air and at the same time a cartridge is fired.

A further object of this invention is to provide a toy pistol with toy airplane carrying means, and means controlled by the trigger of the toy pistol for hurling the airplane into the air.

It is a further object of the present invention, to simplify the construction of toy pistols of the class described so as to make them cheaper in the manufacture and at the same time more reliable in their action.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side view of the toy pistol and air plane.

Figure 2 is a view of the toy pistol after the airplane has been hurled into the air.

Figure 3 is a view taken on 33 Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a section 44 on Figure 3.

In the shown embodiment of my new and improved toy pistol, the main body is made out of wood or metal, as a single piece or in two or more parts, which may have the form of two flat shells of sheet metal connected together by either-welding or otherwise. The main body 1, consists of a handle 2 and a bar rel-imitation 3.

The main body 1, consists of two stamped sheet metal portions 4 and 5, connected to gether either by welding, soldering or as follows: The portion 4 is provided with a number of lugs 6, while the portion 5, is provided with a number of tongues 7. The two portions 4 each other and the tongues 7, bent over the lugs 6 and pressed hard thus forming the complete body 1.

Into the forward end 8, of the barrel portion 3, there is inserted a resilient arm 9, the rear end 10 being depressed at 11, to form greater resiliency.

The middle of the arm 9, is bent downwardly at 12 and on the bent portion 13, there is provided a cartridge seat 14, for receiving paper cartridges 15. The seat is held to the arm by means of metal 16, wrapped and pressed around the arm 9.

The arm 9, then proceeds in an upward direction and terminates in a hook 17. To the and 5, are then placed adjacent hook 17, ther is attached a perforated pend ant member 18 and held to the hook by means of metal 19, wrapped and pressed around the hook 17.

At the end of the hook 17, there is attached a V shaped retaining member 20, provided with a slot 21, formed between the sides forming the V.

A trigger 22, is set within a slot 23, of the barrel 3. One end of the trigger 24, is adapted to slide on the edge of the slot 23, while the other end of the trigger 25, is adapted to fulcrum on the other end of the slot 23, when the trigger is operated.

The trigger 22, is provided with an extension 26 and a hook 27. The extension is adapted to operate in a slot 28, of the barrel 3.

A loop shaped arm 29, is revolvably attached to the barrel 3, through ears 30. To the upper end of the arm 29 there is attached a plate 31, by means of turned metal 32 and 33, around the arm 29 and fastened thereto. The plate 31 is also held to the arm 29, through upturned metal 34, or a pin.

A toy airplane 35, of any desired make, provided with a V shaped fuselage 36, is adapted to fit within the slot 21, of the V shaped member 20.

A stop member 37, made of any hard substance as cardboard or metal, is clamped on the bottom of the V shaped fuselage 36. The function of the stop member is to abut against the V shaped member 20.

In operation, a paper cartridge 15, is placed in the seat 14 and the arm 9 is pulled down until the perforated member 18 is attached to the book 27, of the trigger 22. The toy airplane is then placed in the slot 21, of the V shaped member 20.

When the trigger 22 is pulled, the hook member 27 travels backward and releases the perforated member 18 and due to the resiliency in the arm 9, it travels upwards with great force and the concussion of the V shaped member 2O against the stop member 37, is with sufficient force to cause the airplane 35, to fly. I

At the same time the loop shaped arm 29, which spans the arm 9, is caused to go upwards and bring the plate 31 in contact with the seat 14, with great force. If a cartridge 15 is placed on the seat 14, it will explode with great noise at the same time the air plane flies off.

While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that such changes may be made in the combination and arrangement of parts as will 5 fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

WVhat I claim is: In a toy pistol, a barrel, a resilient arm affixed to said barrel, a trigger coacting with 10 said resilient arm for holding and releasing the resilient arm, and slotted means attached to said resilient arm, an airplane having a V shaped fuselage adapted to fit in the slotted means and an abutting member attached to said fuselage adapted to coact with the slotted means and be hurled into the air when the trigger is released.

Signed at New York, New York, in the county of New York, and State of New York this 16th day of August, A. D. 1928.
